On the same trip that I received the heirloom cloth, I purchased this Wilendur Dogwood cloth in Virginia. It's a long drive from Massachusetts to Florida. Shopping is the perfect way to break it up, and I liked buying the state flower on a vintage linen.

The tulips are from the Junior League of Boston Service and the City Ball. The crystal is Waterford Elberon from our wedding registry.

The silverware is perhaps the best souvenir of all from that trip, Gorham Buttercup sterling from my great-grandparent's marriage in 1909. What a generous gift from my brother!

About Me

I enjoy collecting dishes made by the Homer Laughlin China Company, especially the Art Deco Fiesta, Harlequin and Riviera dinnerware lines. I'm always on the hunt for vintage tablecloths and other accessories to compliment my collection.
The background on my blog is gray to match my dining room walls. This lovely neutral shade showcases the colorware on my table. The other colors used on my blog reflect some of my very favorite pottery glazes: chartreuse, Harlequin yellow and scarlet.
If you like my tabletop or have questions, please leave a comment and I'll reply to you.
Go ahead...ask me about my deco dishes!
